I spend a lot of time talking about the new music on Nihongaku Radio. Well, this episode’s got a fistful of old tracks as well. Tracks you might describe as “groovy.” Tracks with horn sections. Tracks that make you want to get up just to get down. Stick around for the “featured artist” position to see what I mean.
